tang sight on bigboy!

billy · 03-14-2008, 09:22 PM

i mounted it today.
i think i might start cowboy silhouette shooting now that i have the correct gun.
and nope we dont play dressup!

it came with 3 different size apertures for different types of shooting

Looks good Billy. Give us a range report.

billy · 03-15-2008, 07:00 PM

range report.
after playing with the cool lil windage and elevation knobs i set up a target at 25 yds. to get on paper.
1st shot drilled the paster.
so i moved it out to 50 yds. and produced this group standing freehand.
i couldnt see those holes i had to walk up to see what happened.
for me this is great shooting .
iron sighted freehand.

it really does make a world of difference.

Looks good Billy. What'd that Marbles run ya'? And did you have a tang safety on that or no?

billy · 03-15-2008, 07:06 PM

Cyrille · 03-16-2008, 11:55 AM

Thanks; Did you have to drill and tap the rifle's tang to mount the tang sight?

the models for the 92's just take a longer screw some of my 92's
have come with the longer screw, now i see why!
at 50 yds opens are fine but at 100 big difference
